Four cops stand up to the horrors of the city they protect, but their lives at home are made difficult by their children who are drifting away from them. They feel an urgency to renew their faith and reconnect with them after a tragedy.

I’m guessing the military, or teachers. Extras: bloopers, deleted scenes, featurettes.

When the coach of the Pullman Blue Cocks dies on the sidelines, Vice is the only one available as a replacement. He could be their worst nightmare, or the spark of a winning season in the lowest division in college sports. Judging from the cover and the description, I foresee a lot of bad puns and naked cheerleaders. Extras: commentary, deleted scenes, outtakes.

A macho football team is forced to compete against an entirely gay team in their Sunday soccer league. The straights have their assumptions challenged and referee Elton Glixton (Duncan MacInnes) has to keep the peace. Since this is a “gay” comedy that takes on the stereotypes, I’m sure that there will be lots of shots of rippling pectorals, like there would be topless shots in a similar straight comedy. At least, that’s what the preview indicates. Extras: behind-the scenes featurette, featurette, music video.
